TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: l

Be it known that I, SIDNEY STANTON, of Syracuse, in the county of Onondaga, and State of New York, have invented a new and improved Stone-sawing, Drilling, and Polishing Machine; ad- I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which willI enable those skilled'in the art to make `and use the' same, reference being had to the accompanying' drawings, forming apart ofthis specification, in which- I Figure 1 is a central vertical section of my invention, and

Figure 2'is a detail view.

The object of thisv invention is to produce a cheap and simple device which lwill facilitate the working of.

stone by hand-labor, as hereinafter explained.

In'the accompanying drawings, A is a woodenV frame, on which is mounted 'a hollow standard, B. This standard has a s well or chamber, b, for accommodating a bevelled pinion, C, and has also a wrist, d, for holding a bevell'ed drivingsgear, E e. The hollow standard B is occupied by a shaft, F, which has a universal joint, g,

at its Vlower end, for connecting with a rubbing-disk, H, (or with a circular saw, as shown in iig. 2,) and has a drill, e', at its'opposite end. The standard B-is also provided with a handle, lc.' L is a water-vessel or box,

having a' cock, m, and n is a chute, for convey-ing water to the tool. P P represents a slab of marble, which is' beingoperated upon. v

The machineis-placed so that the frame A rests upon the'i'ac'e of the work,-and, when polishing or facing, the machine is pushed about over the face ofthe work by the handle c as the work progresses. The operator turns the crank 'e with one hand, and steadies the machine with the other hand, placed on handle Ic. The pinion C has a pin', c, which engages with a longitudinal slot,f, in the shaft F, so that the pinion hascontrol of the shaft to turn it, butthe shaft` is free to move vertically., and, for drilling, sawing, or rubbing, the shaft feeds v freely down' to the work with the tool. The rubbing-disk H is rotated ,by` crank e, and water is suppliedjby waste-cock m, and sand, in the 'usual manner. For drilling holes through slabs of stone, for pipes orscrews, Stc.,'the rubber H isdis-'connccted from the lower end of shaft F, and the shaftis then taken out ofthe hollow standard B, and its end changed, so that the drill i-is brought down to the work. 'lheweig-ht of the shaft F feeds-the drill down when in'operation, butI additional weight can be secured to the upper end of the shaft, if greater feed-pressure is desired. The saw is used to cut circular holes in slabs of marble,for wash-basins, &c., and the'saw used consists in a ring or hangingilange, 1' fr, iig. 2, which is attached to a disk, R, the water from the upper` side of the disk running into a V-shaped groove, S, and thence down the saw r. The machine is clamped to the slab', when sawing, by a common wood-screw clamp.

What I-claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The frame A, hollow standard B {'J c, gears E e, C `c, shaft Ffg, water-box L, and chute n, all constructed, arranged, and operating in the manner shown, and for the purpose described.

The above specica-tion of my invention signed by me', this 27th day of March, `1868.

` SIDNEY STANTON.
